Here are other home decorating tips to make your living space more accommodating this season.

1. Cover cold floors with rugs

If you’re suffering from cold toes, you can easily feel better by putting large rug on your living room floors. You can use carpet, woolen, knitted or any other thick floor rugs to instantly make your space cozier and more comfortable. Make sure to match the colors of your rugs by using warmer colors of red, dark yellows, oranges or olive green for that appealing look.

2. Move furniture closer together

In summer, spacious living room may be more desirable, but in winter it can look cold and empty. When hanging out with your loved ones during winter, you may want to have them closer to make room for cool and relaxing conversations. Move living room furniture set closer together or add love seat or bean bag in your sitting room to make it more warm and intimate.

3. Go for velvet, suede, or wool

Warm fabrics made from these materials makes living room more relaxed and comfortable. Use it in cushion covers or table runners instead of using polyester or silk materials. You can also hang thick curtains to keep living room look cozier and prevent draft at night. Just make sure to fully open the curtain to allow sunlight to enter the room in the morning.

4. Cozy up with lights and candles

Nothing makes a room more relaxing by the enchanting whiff of scented candles. Make living rooms more romantic by installing lamps and scattering decorative candles on different places inside your home. Just make sure to keep them away your living room furniture set, curtains, table covers and other flammable materials to avoid any fire accident.

With little home make over, you can come up with a comfortable living room face that can look and feel more accommodating to your family and guests. Snuggle up while hugging your favorite throw pillows and enjoy a relaxing living room this winter season.
